Our Privacy Policy in Full
This policy explains what personal data we collect when you play at Royallama Casino, why we hold it, who sees it and how long we keep it. It applies to every account holder and visitor of our website.
What Data We Collect
We only collect data we need to run your account, meet our licence conditions and keep you safe. The categories below cover everything we hold, and nothing beyond them.
- Identity data: full name, date of birth, email address, telephone number, residential address.
- Verification documents: photo ID, proof of address and payment method evidence for KYC checks.
- Transaction data: deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, wagering history and payment instrument details.
- Technical data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and approximate location.
- Gameplay behaviour: games played, stakes, session times, win and loss records.
- Marketing preferences: which channels you opted into and how you responded.
Why We Use Your Data
We open your account, verify your identity and process every payment using the data you give us. Beyond account operation, we monitor play patterns for fraud prevention and responsible-gambling purposes, because our Malta licence requires it.
- Creating and managing your player account.
- Carrying out KYC and anti-money laundering checks.
- Processing deposits and withdrawals.
- Detecting fraud, bonus abuse and multi-accounting.
- Monitoring play against responsible-gambling markers.
- Sending marketing messages where you consented.
- Meeting legal and regulatory obligations.
Our Legal Bases
Contract: where processing is necessary to provide the service you signed up for, such as account management, game play and payments.
Legal obligation: we process identity and transaction data because gambling law and AML rules oblige us to verify players and report suspicious activity.
Legitimate interest: fraud prevention, site security and aggregated service improvement rely on this basis, balanced against your rights.
Consent: marketing emails, SMS and personalised offers run only on your explicit opt-in, which you may withdraw at any time.
How Long We Keep It
Nothing is stored forever. Each category has a defined clock, and deletion runs automatically once the period expires unless an ongoing investigation requires us to hold records longer.
| Data category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Identity and account data | 5 years after account closure |
| Verification documents | 5 years after account closure |
| Transaction and wagering records | 5 years, per MGA requirements |
| Technical and device data | 13 months maximum |
| Marketing preferences | Until you withdraw consent |
| Records under legal dispute | Until the dispute resolves |
Who We Share It With
We never sell your data. Sharing is limited to partners who help us operate, and each one works under a written data processing agreement.
- Payment processors handling your deposits and withdrawals.
- KYC and AML verification providers checking your documents.
- The Malta Gaming Authority and other regulators we answer to.
- Analytics and hosting providers under strict access limits.
- Professional advisers such as auditors, lawyers and tax specialists, where relevant.

Cookies and Tracking

How We Protect Your Data
All traffic to and from our servers is encrypted with TLS, and stored verification documents sit encrypted at rest with access limited to trained staff on a need-to-know basis. We test our controls regularly and log every internal access to your records.
If a breach happens
We notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a qualifying breach, and we tell you directly without undue delay where the breach poses a high risk to your rights.
